A man pleaded for a North Minneapolis homeowner to call 911, saying he feared for his life, and then shot the homeowner shortly after the call was placed, police said.

Devon Derrick Parker, 20, was booked into the Hennepin County Jail on probable cause of murder Friday night.

Police received a 911 call just before noon Friday from a homeowner in the 3700 block of Aldrich Avenue North, who said that a man had come to his door and asked him to call police.

The man told the homeowner that "he was being chased by people that wanted to kill him," according to a police statement.

Police arrived and found the homeowner dead, apparently from a gunshot wound. Parker, the man who had reportedly come to his door, was still in the home.

Police took Parker into custody and said they were not looking for any other suspects.

A police spokesman said there was some indication that Parker and the victim were acquaintances, but the victim "seems like an innocent victim. From all indications, this is not a bad guy, a drug deal gone wrong, or anything like that."

Parker was convicted in 2011 of assault and in 2012 of shooting at a public vehicle/facility, according to state records.
